No Trouble to Get Men to Fill the
Strikers Places.
AS predicted some days ago by the boss
plumbers, new hands are arriving from New
York to take the places of the striking
plumbers. The boss plumbers were firm in
their determination not to treat with the
Plumbers union, but only with the men as
individuals, and held the places Of the strik-
ers open as long as they could, not wishing
to hire men from out of town. Now, how
ever, their patience is exhausted aud they
are filling the vacant places with outside
men, One result of the strike has been to
set back building operations, and hence
work in the business is comparatively dull.

THE THREATENED COAL FAMINE.
Chicago Dealer Charges that the New
York Combination Is Alone Responsible.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The coal dealers declare
that there is a scant supply of anthracite coal,
not only in Chicago. but throughout the West.
They predict that coal will be worth SO or $40 a
ton in Chicago before snow falls, and that the
Western country will have to depend upon corn
cobs for fuel this winter. 1.-THE situation is
simply abominable." said a prominent local coal
dealer this afternoon when questioned on the
subject. ''You can't use terms strong enough
to describe it, and what Ia to be regretted it
Is daily becoming worse and worse. 1t is very
unfair however, for the papers to say that the
Chicago dealers are in any way to blame for the
present condition of affairs which is equally OBJ
noxous to hem as to the consumers. The coal
ring is in Pennsylvania and New York, and not
in Chicago, and their representatives here are
simply salaried agents who can do nothing but
their bidding"
Ibid nothing come ont Of the step taken by
the Attorney general of Pennsylvania. last year.
to break up the combin ations," " was asked.
Nothing. except that they went into
New York and made the com bination harder and
tighter There 10 no combination this year,
nominally. Last year they admitted the combi-
nation This year there is admitted combi-
and carried out from month TO month.
They show their claws to be harder and sharper,
and have greater grasppg power than ever be-
fore The retailer and consumer have reme-
dy whatever. Whatever the shippers order has
got to be done. / can bring you proofs that the
shippers solely and entirely responsible for
the present condition of the market and the ap-
parently inevitable present prices"
